Good coursr
Played alone Sun Am 7:52. Done 2:45 minutes. Spent 45 min after round working on sand game and driving range-nice practice facility. Best golf deal on HHI.
Nice course
Nice conditions, friendly staff and fun course to play. Pace of play very good
Fun course
Nice,not overly challenging but still a good layouts. Conditions were very good and price less than comparable.
Fun track, good greens. Nice staff
Our experience at Dolphin Head was a good one. The course is interesting as the front nine is fairly tight with tree lined fairways. And the back nine is a little more open. Four very challenging par threes. I played from the Blue tees and they all played close to 200 yards. The greens were fairly fast burmuda and smooth. The staff was very friendly however the clubhouse facilities could use a little updating and a snack bar would be nice. Overall a good experience for me and my wife. Will return.
Mr.Cooper returns.
2nd time. Before not impressed with conditions. Better today. Will be back.
Professional level course.
Great course. Just everything about it was nice. Back tees it’s challenging enough for a pro to a 10 or better handicapper. Greens rolled nice and true and fast enough but not super slick. Fairways were well manicured. Very good value
A New HHI favourite
Booked through Golf Now and got a reasonable price for mid daytime Staff was great and a good challenging layout but not too scary for high handicappers. Only negative was when we finished it was near dark and clubhouse was closed up. Not a big deal but would’ve been nice to know.
Fine layout
Gary Player design and has all his subtle green complexes.Wonderful back nine with three final holes as good
as it gets, final par five best hole I have played so far in Hilton head area. Would have scored condition better
but tee boxes a bit scruffy and a few hole edges were worn, but greens putted well. Staff allround first class.
I am a14 handicap golfer on vacation from England and play a lot of golf , this course rates good value for the
money and I will return and recommend.
Great round
Enjoyed playing this course with my Dad while on vacation. We have been playing different courses in HHI for years and this was our first round at Dolphin Head. We had a lot of rain but the course held up well. Course has a lot of dog legs but is an enjoyable play. We will play it again.
Great Old Layout
Great old layout in superb shape. Staff is excellent. They have gone up and and beyond on two of our visits!
Mixed review
Staff friendly. Was teamed up with two really nice guys. Fairways good. Greens had been aeriated recently and had not recovered yet. Very bumpy and inconsistent. Nice layout
Great Layout, Outstanding Staff
This my second time playing Dolphin Head and it is now on my list to play every time I come to Hilton Head! The staff is friendly and helpful and pace of play (just under 4 hours) is great but never felt rushed. The layout is fair with just enough challenge to keep you honest but not so penalizing that it takes the fun out.
Great course layout. Friendly staff. Will definitely play again and recommend to others!
Good find
Lots of options in this area, but I really enjoyed my round here. Decent price and the course was in great shape. Greens were perfect and rolled true. I would play again.
Another HH Plantation Treasure
I played all four of the Hilton Head Plantation courses this week (Oyster Reef, Bear Creek, CC of Hilton Head, and Dolphin Head). They are all TOP-SHELF tracks.
I was a little concerned about Dolphin Head because the last time I played it, they were over-the-top adamant about their 4-hour round policy. Something's changed because the starter never mentioned it. The rangers never mentioned it. And, guess what? We finished our round In 3:57 (without ever feeling rushed)!
Conditions are PERFECT from teebox through green. Beverage cart was out and running on a Friday morning. Practice facilities are stellar.
This is private country club golf available for (limited) public play golf. DO NOT MISS OUT ON PLAYING THIS COURSE!
Greens are in really good shape
Definitely recommend playing Dolphin Head. They have everything you would expect from a Hilton Head Island course.
Great Value Course
Well I wasn't expecting much but for the price it was really good. Greens were surprisingly true. Will be back.
Great gem on the island
Been coming to the island for 20 years. Just learned of this course word of mouth. Wow, great track at a very reasonable price. Will definitely be back. Can’t wait to play it again!

For everything outside of the condition of the course. Staff, Range area, Layout. I don't think we can do half stars but would go 3.5. I am a very tough critic. If a course gets a 5 it's special.
Why only 3 star rating, just curious?
